For a list of bad laconics, see Sandbox.Pages Needing Better Laconics.
For generally accepted guidelines for laconics, see Sandbox.Laconic Wiki Template.
Today I found out an interesting fact from troper Ironeye:
Don't ever make the mistake of using the Laconic version as the canonical trope meaning—the laconics are often written by people who don't actually understand the drop. In this case, the laconic only corresponds to one possible cause of Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy.
The Laconic Description for DIAA states as follows:
The thing is, these descriptions are supposed to make it easier to understand what the page is about. If they can't be accurate as well as short and sweet, then there's a problem.
So for starters, what would be a better description for DIAA?

So Laconic.Sinkhole has sinkholes. I know it demonstrates it, but like Laconic.Pothole previously, this is annoying, and I would rather cut them all.
Irrelevant
/misused/out-
of-place Pothole(
s).
I honestly don't see the big deal; it's just a short Self-Demonstrating Article.
Reposting
In Laconic.Sinister Minister, someone added this part (I put it in bold):
Do you all think it would be fine if I remove it?
Regarding Laconic.Sinkhole, there's a discussion and crowner ongoing
on which kinds of pages should even have laconics at all.
Laconic.Ojou: "A non-royal princess."
Maybe unclear? Suggesting:
A girl from a rich family that is treated / treats herself like of a higher social class.
TroperWall / WikiMagic Cleanup
That's not the question, I believe they're asking if anyone can brainstorm.
Laconic.Miss Kuroitsu From The Monster Development Department:
Suggestion:
Although, it doesn't say anything about Monster Development...

How about:
"A scary looking girl falls in love with a popular guy who reciprocates her feelings"

- Yep, better!
Shadow Hearts could say something about being "A video game series set in the early 20th century"?

- It's fine. I just glanced at the page, and the details I felt competent enough to summarize it seemed to say that all its games were set in that time.
Laconic.Macekre currently reads
which is just completely incorrect.
Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it."A Frankenslation or other changes to a translated work that viewers consider shoddy"?
Super Mario Galaxy has a generic Recycled In Space laconic. What about this suggestion:
"Bowser plans to take over the universe, so Mario embarks on an adventure out of his world to stop him"
135 -> 180 -> 273 -> 191 -> 188 -> 230 -> 300 -> 311

And yeah we should remove the current comment as well.
